‘Very dark day’: ABC reporter blasted by Trump responds

An Australian journalist subjected to a shocking spray and threat from US President Donald Trump says the notion asking a "legitimate" question could damage US-Australia relations is "an absurd notion".

You're hurting Australia, right? In my opinion, you are hurting Australia very much right now," Trump said. "And they want to get along with me. You know, yo...

‘It was undoubtedly suicide’: Former US Attorney General squashes Epstein conspiracy theories

Former US Attorney General Bill Barr has outlined the reasons he believes Jeffrey Epstein almost certainly took his own life, undercutting unfounded theories that swirled after the child sex offender's death during a deposition with House investigators. Barr didn't believe it was possible, he said, for someone to get into the convicted sex offender's jail cell without being captured on security camera footage. "For me, the video was the icing on the cake," Barr said in recent testimony with House investigators. "There was a lot of evidence about, you know, his state of mind and other physical evidence pointing to suicide and also testimonial and records pointing to this." Jeffrey Epstein undoubtedly died by suicide, former US Attorney General Bill Barr says....

How Charlie Kirk changed conservative media – and US politics

Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed today, pioneered a new model for conservative political advocacy, merging multi-platform media commentary with in-person gatherings and get-out-the-vote drives. Kirk, 31, was a hugely successful political field organiser, TikTok influencer, radio host, nonprofit leader and public speaker all rolled up in one telegenic figure.

Trump once called for ‘aggressive action’ against TikTok. Now the White House has joined the app

The White House has officially joined TikTok, despite US President Donald Trump previously calling for "aggressive action" against the social media platform. He even signed an executive order in 2020, during his first term in the Oval Office, suggesting the Chinese-owned app was a threat to national security. But Trump's attitude changed around the time of the 2024 Presidential election, when he and former Vice President Kamala Harris both campaigned extensively on the platform.

Texas Democrats refuse police escort, blocked from leaving state house

Several Texas state House Democrats ripped up the written agreements that allowed them to leave the chamber with a police escort and returned to the House floor.
